A Season of Change<br />
NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, FEBRUARY 1– 8, <strong>2008</strong><br />
Best described as a season of change, fall ’08 is defined by<br />
rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York’s<br />
fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples<br />
in the top five tones used in their collections, followed by<br />
variations of warm red, orange and yellow.<br />
“<strong>Fall</strong> is traditionally a time for subdued, quiet colors, but this<br />
season we are seeing a shift toward cool hues with bright,<br />
exciting undertones,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director<br />
of the <strong>Pantone</strong> Color Institute ® . “Conventional tones such as<br />
warm autumn hues, chocolate browns and steel grays are<br />
also among the fall color choices. Blue and purple tones have<br />
become staples, as illustrated by Blue Iris, one of the top 10<br />
colors chosen by designers this season, and <strong>Pantone</strong>’s Color<br />
of the Year for <strong>2008</strong>.”<br />
Blue Iris, a beautifully balanced blue with an undertone of<br />
purple, is a favorite among designers, as it combines the calming<br />
aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple.<br />
Dramatic Royal Lilac brings purple to the forefront of fashion,<br />
and generates a bit of heat with its exciting red undertones.<br />
Serene, sophisticated Caribbean Blue is another popular<br />
hue this fall, especially in jewelry and accessories. But it can<br />
add a colorful intensity wherever it is used in the wardrobe.<br />
Twilight Blue, a twist on a classic navy, shows the<br />
transitional aspect of spring segueing into fall. Serving as<br />
a wonderful base color, Shady Glade delivers a natural<br />
elegance to the fall palette. Taking green in an interesting<br />
direction with its true green characteristics, this hue is<br />
a departure from greens of seasons past, which have had<br />
distinctively yellow undertones.<br />
Reds are a steadfast favorite for fall and Aurora Red is<br />
no exception. Versatile and universally appealing, this true<br />
red adds a splash of energy to the palette. Soft, dusky<br />
Withered Rose, with its pinkish qualities and brown<br />
undertones, is a versatile hue that blends with every shade.<br />
Ochre, a beautifully mellow yellow with a hint of mustard,<br />
adds a touch of lightness and spice. Orange has had a long<br />
run, and now, more than ever, consumers are gravitating<br />
toward intense shades like Burnt Orange, bringing this once<br />
steady background color to the foreground. The complex yet<br />
modest Shitake is an intriguingly understated shade,<br />
especially when teamed with the robust colors of fall ‘08.<br />

INSPIRATION<br />
The idea of “strange beauty” —<br />
something that is freakishly odd, but at<br />
the same time elegantly beautiful. This<br />
oxymoron, specifically created for this<br />
season, gave us more freedom<br />
and achieves an avant-garde take on<br />
traditional fashion. We are also constantly<br />
inspired by our home country of Korea,<br />
as well as European and American<br />
cultures — the resulting designs are a<br />
unique combination of melded ideas.<br />

Mineral Red, Rusty Orange and Yellow<br />

INSPIRATION<br />
The haute hippie, bohemian style of<br />
Woodstock icon Janis Joplin combined<br />
with the gritty glamour of rock ‘n’ roll as<br />
depicted in Performance, the 1968 cult<br />

The rich, opulent jewel tones in<br />
Asia — I studied fine art in Tokyo<br />
under Japan’s leading contemporary<br />
artist, Jiro Takamatsu, who is credited<br />
for paving the way for the modern<br />
art movement in Japan during the<br />
1960s. During that time, I was<br />
immersed in rich jewel tones and<br />
saw how these regal colors could<br />
be incorporated in design.<br />
SIGNATURE COLOR<br />
Asian-inspired Red — it is rich and<br />
warm with a nod to the season and<br />
its colorful foliage<br />
COLOR PHILOSOPHY<br />
The colors are derived from an<br />
opulent perspective. They’re colors<br />
that I use in my own home to<br />
decorate a room. These jewel tones<br />
do not overwhelm my designs<br />
and the garment is the star.<br />

designers choose paint for home<br />
Rug because it goes well with Benge furniture. — Akiko Ogawa<br />
Atmosphere — it’s clean, crisp and modern. Use it anywhere requiring tranquility. — Alvin Valley<br />
Rich Salmon for modern contemporary or antiques — it will work in any room. — Betsey Johnson<br />
Rust — it stimulates energy, generates enthusiasm, feels comforting and strong, and has a warm simplicity with its tone.<br />
This color would be ideal in any home office or workspace. — Brian Reyes<br />
A rich hue of Gray would be beautiful and very masculine, particularly with a crisply painted Cream molding. Van Gogh allegedly<br />
painted the walls of his studio Gray — the richness of the dark hue was serene. — Carlos Campos<br />
I always like the way a room looks when the walls are one color and all the framing is a contrast stark White. I love everything<br />
White with touches of color elsewhere so I would start slowly painting my bathroom Seafoam and my kitchen walls a<br />
bright Lemon. — Charlotte Ronson<br />
A faded Gray Lilac — ideal for spaces that are serene and relaxing, such as a bathroom or lounge. It adds a touch of organic<br />
futurism that is both neutral and modern. — Christian Cota<br />
Emperor Red! Anywhere… If it was good enough for Diana Vreeland, then it’s good enough for me. — David Rodriguez<br />
Subtle Beige with traces of Peach — this works as a great background for staging furniture and is extremely flattering to<br />
one’s skin tone. — Dennis Basso<br />
Having been inspired by looking at wall coverings from Wook Kim, I am compelled by the idea of Black interiors.<br />
A Black bathroom could be very dramatic and beautiful. — Doori Chung for Doo.ri<br />
Imperial Purple — it would work well with a Black and White photography collection. — Douglas Hannant<br />
Metallic shades — Silvers, Golds, Bronzes and pearlized colors. — Erin Fetherston<br />
Antique Loden in a study, home office or library — books pictures and objects look best against a dark<br />
dramatic setting. — James Coviello<br />
Black Lacquer in a library or a cozy den — it provides an air of glamour to a casual room. — Jenni Kayne<br />
Apple Green — it can brighten up any room yet still be very sophisticated. — Kimora Lee Simmons for Baby Phat<br />
Peacock Tail for a library, inspired by Whistler’s Peacock room. — Laura Poretzky for Abaeté<br />
Shades of Green in all interior spaces due to the awareness of the environment. — Luca Luca<br />
